"(Not sure why I am putting in a paranthetical opening statement for this comment considering how short and insubstantial this comment is, boiling down to "Not MY Hardcore! grrrr...". Maybe its just a habit. Anyway, yeah I am not a fan of this uber clean, big, anthemic version of post hardcore and..." [+] Reply

"I remember listening to this album late at night with a friend. Howlin' was howlin' at us. He was telling it like it is. That is a fond memory that I will never forget. Good times, good times!!" Reply

"Once you get past the main single "Loser" you get a great collection of bizzaro tunes. I must be alone here in feeling while each song isn't perfect, I'd still argue that there are no bad songs on it, which makes very interesting to listen to. It's sporadic, trippy, and original. There aren't man..." [+] Reply

"For my money, this is QOTSA's best album. They went on to make more diverse albums, but they never made anything as slick as this awesome debut. As cool as the otherside of the pillow..." Reply

"The Sulphur Man is a wonder of production, such an open, expansive sound, widescreen, if you will. As much a part of the song's brilliance as the songwriting itself." Reply

"Billy Joel adds a little more rock to his usual brand of pop, relying much less on piano than previous albums. As a pop/rock answer to the punk rock of the time ("it's still rock and roll to me"!), it's a solid album, with a very good first half which falls apart a bit in the 2nd." Reply

"While most audiophiles will be quick to point out "Wide Awake" as Bright Eyes' magnum opus, I have personally found the consensus among those fans who have immersed themselves in the band's entire discography that "Lifted" is on top. Even with such greats as Bob Dylan and Leonard Cohen this album..." [+] Reply
